Anyone here told to take the varicella vaccine before the ivf? If we do we would have to miss a cycle 😥

I did. I don’t think it’s a bad idea to take some time to eat healthy and clean, reduce stress, etc.

Do you have to get that vaccine if you had chickenpox as a child?

No,I didnt as a child

Never had chicken pox but I had taken the vaccine as a kid. Clinic wanted me to take a booster because blood work showed low immunity. But taking a booster would have meant waiting 8 weeks. I asked for repeat blood work and signed a waiver to go ahead with the FET. Repeat blood work showed I had enough immunity.

By before IVF, do you mean embryo transfer or just retrieval? You could check with the clinic if they allow ER if you have just taken the vaccine. I think you would have to either sign a waiver or wait in case of a transfer.

I signed my clinic’s waiver to proceed without it (I was definitely vaccinated as a child but my bloodwork showed no immunity unfortunately). I was comfortable skipping it as I work from home and am rarely around children - the odds of me catching it feel incredibly low. Chickenpox is really dangerous to pregnant women, though. My RE said she especially recommends it to nurses and teachers as they are at higher risk, but she didn’t seem particularly concerned with me skipping it.

Our RE made my wife get two doses before she’d even treat us (my wife’s home country doesn’t do it generally and she had no anti-bodies).

Yes, my clinic required this but offered a waiver. I decided to get it once I read about how bad chicken pox can be for a birth defects. I didn’t feel like a month or two would make a difference for my mental health (the break was kind of nice). I might have felt differently if I was in your shoes

I have a student with autism. He is mostly behavioral and at a lower learning level so he has to be in a separate classroom. We try to let him play with the students at recess or join in class parties. He has a sibling that attends school as well. When we were waiting in car line a group of girls talked about how they feel so bad for the sibling because of my student. Thankfully, neither student or sibling heard. But how do I respond to that as an adult? Especially, if they do hear?

Had a microadenoma and have been on medication since. Husband’s count and motility came back normal but morphology was a bit low. RE said low morphology does not matter much. Any advice before going to IVF? Thank you in advance
